Used Car DonationHow to Donate a Car in Utah

Hi my name is Luz Luis. I work for the National
Kidney Foundation of Utah in Idaho, and I'm going to be giving you some tips about how
to donate your car to charity here in Utah. The most important thing is to call the charity
directly. Find out about their charitable mission.

Make sure that the programs that
they're funding are ones that you want to benefit with your car donation. Ask the charity
what percent of their funding goes to administrative costs and what percent goes to fund their
charitable mission. Never donate to a charity that has an overhead cost of more than 25%.
You want at least 75% of all of the proceeds that go to that charity to fund their charitable
mission. Then ask them how they accept their car donations.

Sometimes they'll refer you
to a 1-800 number, or they'll refer you to a website. Then you need to get out a title.
You have to have a title to donate a car in Utah. If you don't have a title to the vehicle,
you can usually get a replacement title from the DMV. When you find your title you're going
to sign your name over to release your ownership of the car, and you're going to need to make
sure that the buyer section or the new owner section is filled out with the name of the
charity.

Never leave a title blank. Always put the name of your intended charity here
in the buyer's section. To donate your care to the National Kidney Foundation of Utah,
it's very simple. Get out your title, and call 1-800-TOW-KARS.

It's t-o-w-k-a-r-s. Or
even easier, donate online at Towkars.Org. That's t-o-w-k-a-r-s. Get out your title,
answer all of the questions.

We'll come out and get the vehicle, write your receipt for
your tax purposes. And be in contact with the Kidney Foundation during the donation
process. Again to donate, call 1-800-TOW-KARS, or donate online at Towkars.Org..

Used Car DonationHow to Donate a Car in the NYC Area

Hi, my name is Luz Luis and I am with the
National Kidney Foundation and I'm going to be giving you a few tips about how to donate
a car in New York. The first most important step is to choose a charity. Call the charity
on the phone, ask them what their charitable mission is, find out how much money they spend
on their programs, and how much goes to overhead. You really shouldn't donate to any charity
that has more than a twenty-five percent overhead.

Also ask them if they take car donations,
and then ask 'em what that process is for car donation. Then you follow their instructions.
Usually they'll give you a one-eight-hundred number or a website where you can donate.
You go to the website that they refer you to. You probably shouldn't get a website or
a phone number out of the newspaper or off of the Internet without first confirming with
your charity of choice that that is in fact their car donation site or the car donation
phone number. The next step is probably to get your title.

You will need a title to donate
a vehicle. If you don't have a title, most of the time you can go to the DMV in your
area, or even the DMV website and apply for a duplicate title. When signing over a title
to the charity, you'll need to make sure that you sign your name and date your signature
to release ownership, and very importantly, you'll need to make sure that the buyers section
or the new owner section of the title has the name of the charity that you're going
to donate to. Never leave that portion of the title blank.

Then simply follow the directions
that they give you. Usually you're going to have to give the name of the person who's
going to get the tax receipt, give some information about the vehicle like the year, make and
model of the vehicle, what's wrong with the car, and then once the information's submitted,
they're going to call you back and make arrangements to come out and pick up the vehicle. Depending
on the charity, it's usually two to four days to go out and pick up the vehicle. If you
choose to donate your car to the National Kidney Foundation which is the country's oldest
and most substantiated car donation program, all you need to do is call 1 (800) 488 CARS,
or you can donate on-line which is actually very simple.

It's kidneycars.Org. And again,
you get out your title, you submit the information, they'll come out and get the car and then
you can get a receipt that you can use for your tax purposes, if you itemize on your
taxes, you can use it as a tax deduction. So again, to donate your car to the Kidney
Foundation, you could call 1 (800) 488 CARS. Or donate on-line at kidneycars.Org..
